Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Aminals at none against Octopus Evolution's shown. Aminals also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Octopus Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Octopus Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Aminals sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Aminals holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Octopus Evolution has 4.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Octopus Evolution's written reviews are positive against 100% of Aminals's.
Octopus Evolution ships an update every 6 weeks, Aminals every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
